Find (fog)(x) and (gof)(x) for the pair of functions
(F)(x)=2x^2-5x ; (g)(x)= 2(Sqrt(x+12))
-----------
fog(x) = f[g(x)] = f[2sqrt(x+12)]
---
= 2[2sqrt(x+12)]^2-5[2sqrt(x+12)]
---
= 2[4(x+12)] - 10sqrt(x+12)
---
= 8x+24 - 10sqrt(x+12)
========================================
gof(x) = g[f(x)] = g[2x^2-5x]
---
= 2sqrt[2x^2-5x+12]
---
Cheers,
